Ok we are new to apple. Email is giving us real trouble, coming from outlook.

I have created an contact group in my address book but when i send the email it says no recipients. If i type in the name it appears then disappears.
Why does it not just have an address book in mail.
Can anyone help.
THanks M

sounds like no contacts were added to the group...

My new iphone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete it on my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to get a true synch?.

My new iPhone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete the email on my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to get a true synch?.

POP does not support synchronization between the server and clients. You will need to use IMAP or Exchange Active Sync if your email provider supports it.

What fonts are necessary for Apple email?

I use Extensis Fusion 6 for font management and was shuffling some things for around for best practices. Anyhow, I've removed a font(s) that are specifically required for Apple email to run properly. They haven't been trashed, just moved (temporarily) to the desktop.
Now, I'm not able to use my email. It opens, but crashes shortly after opening. I'm wondering if anyone knows what the required fonts are for email to run properly. I've likely removed an Apple typestyle that is required.
I can use gmail and am able to go onto the web in a variety of browsers. The issue is just with Apple email and it occurred after I moved the fonts out.
I'm currently reading my email on my laptop and forwarding any required files to my desktop via gmail. But this isn't very efficient.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I know that replacing the fonts back into the folder would be the easiest thing to do. Seeing as how I have many, many fonts I would prefer only to replace the necessary ones. IF there is a list somewhere on the Apple site that people are aware of which identifies the necessary fonts for Apple mail, I would prefer to drop only those ones back into the folder.
To be honest, I think the removal of Marker Felt is causing the issue. It may be that I drop the typestyles back in one at a time. But again, if a list is out there?
Thanks again.

Send apple email - how do I set the - send FROM account?

found this nice script to auto create and send apple email...
Q: how do I set the : send from account?
tell application "Mail"
set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:"My Subject", content:"My Body"}
tell theMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:"test", address:"[email protected]"}
end tell
send theMessage
end tell
nice info here:
http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.21/21.09/ScriptingMail/index.html

I've been using the following which may be more complicated than necessary but it does work:
-- SCRIPT SEGMENT --
tell application "Mail"
activate
set listOfSenders to {}
set everyAccount to every account
repeat with eachAccount in everyAccount
set everyEmailAddress to email addresses of eachAccount
if (everyEmailAddress is not equal to missing value) then
repeat with eachEmailAddress in everyEmailAddress
set listOfSenders to listOfSenders & {(full name of eachAccount & " <"Mail"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theBody & return & return}
tell newMessage
set visible to true
set sender to theSender
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:theName, address:theAddress}
set font to "Lucinda Sans"
set size to 14
end tell
activate
--send newMessage
end tell
-- END SCRIPT SEGMENT --
I have commented the actual "send message" line so that I can read the message before clicking the send button as I often will add a comment.

New to apple...How can I keep FACES from sending every new face to cork board?

Hi. new to apple. How can I keep 'Faces' from sending every new face to the corkboard? I have all I need for now! thx.

Welcome to the family!!
By 'every new face' are you implying new ones that you've named, or simply ones that Aperture detects?

Since upgrade to Yosemite, whenever I send an Email, the receiver sees it as coming from my wife only in the "From" column regardless of which signature I use. How do I change this?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
When I send an Email, the receiver sees that it comes from my wife in their "from" column
We have separatee signatures that I can chose from and our Email account is identified with both of our names.
How do I change this so that when I send something, the receiver knows it is from me and not from my wife.

It may be that you have more than one outgoing mail account, and you're sending from the wrong one. From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
          Send new messages from:
choose
          Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
          Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.

Changing my apple ID and getting a new free apple email account

I have an apple ID which was set up using a btinternet account containing my married name. My marriage has broken down and for a number of reasons I wish to distance myself totally from my former partner, and this includes email addresses.
This would have been relatively easy to do by setting up additional btinternet email address had the account not been in his name (even though payment went from a joint account!): only he can create additional email addresses in that account so I am snookered until I reach the end of the contract in May and can start one in my name.
I thought I had a solution, i.e. to create a free iCloud email account in my new name and auto-forward all emails from the btinternet accounts until I can re-educate all my contacts, and then close them and the contract down and move to a new provider who is a little more customer friendly!
However, I cannot find out how to create a free iCloud email account: it seems that the Apple ID has to be an email address which is NOT an apple domain. Do I really have to set up a free email account with someone like live or gmail in order to change my Apple ID? I really don't want a messy solution with permanent links / forwards etc between different email accounts. I need to end up with a single account to & from which personal emails can be sent, and to which I can have forwarded emails from my business domain account.
Any ideas: preferably in plain English as I am not a techy! Simple instructions like go to xxxxxxx, hit yyyyyyy, then click zzzzzzz etc work for me!
Thanks in advance

Thanks to both of you. I have to say that I am no clearer! My appleID was set up for me using my married surname when I purchased the mac. I have @me.com & @icloud.com addresses as well which seemed to happen automatically when the apple id was registered, also using the same surname - effectively the basic apple ID used [email protected] with the yyy being my married surname, and the me.com and iCloud.com addresses were formed with [email protected].
OT: if I need to create a new Apple ID how do I do it? it seems to ask for an email address which is not an Apple domain already but the only ones I have are my old [email protected] which I am trying to get rid of!
So, do I have to get an email address from someone like gmail or whatever and then use that to set up a new Apple ID? If so that seems a bit daft! And if i do that, you're saying that I lose all the Apps purchased under the old one (so my mac compatible 'office suite' etc?) - but there's no way of changing my existing Apple ID to link to a different email address? No there is no way of changing your existing @me.com or @mac.com email address. You can try contacting Apple support to see if they can help, but if the email address is [email protected], or [email protected], not sure how it is uniquely your Apple ID (as opposed to he who shall not be named's Apple ID).
So, yes - you would need an email address from someone like gmail.
To set it up you would go to: Apple - My Apple ID
To set up iCloud on that Apple ID you would follow the intstuctions in: Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions - Apple Support
As far as the purchases go, they will be tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased with. If that Apple ID is an Apple domain ID, then you would need continued access to that Apple ID/email address and its associated password in order to continue to update or to re-download those purchases.
Only Apple IDs that are email addresses other than an Apple domain can be changed. For someone with an @gmail.com address as the Apple ID, the owner can go in at any time and change that email address to something else.
However, Apple domain email address cannot be changed on the Apple ID they are associated with.
I'm confused and irritated! It's bad enough having to go through the mill trying to change names with banks, bills etc without this as well!

Disturbs iCloud sending emails from Outlook?

I notice the last time, that some emails don't wanto to be sent from Outlook 2003. I read somewhere something about iCloud's impact in Outlook which may cause that email stuck. Who can help me?

Sorry. Don't see how iCloud could affect Outlook as Outlook does not run on the iPhone. It's a mail client for PC's. Maybe you can explain what's actually wrong.

My Apple ID and my iCloud id are under different emails how do I change my iCloud email to my apple email

help I have a new email address which I have changed on my Apple ID but my iCloud email is under my old email so can't sign in, how do I change it so my Apple ID and my iCloud id are under the same email and password

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

How do I change my apple email address to my new email addres

Help how do I change my email address on my apple id

First, I did not see "Manage Account" so I used the "Manage ID" feature. I changed my Apple Email address and changed it's password. I receive a message that verified these changes. I then exited "Manage ID". To Test the new ID and Passwod, I returned to "Manage ID". As soon as Manage ID hit the screen, I saw my new email address briefly, and it was then changed to my old email address.
That is the crux of my problem: Apple uses my old ID as the default and in other areas like iCloud where I need to enter ID and PW, they give me the old ID as the defaul and they don't provide a way to change the id, only the pw.
I suspect I'm doing something wrong, but I need to have the old email address (ID) permanently removed. It's security has been compromised.
I appreciate any help you can provide.
George

No need for alarm. There are several folks a day posting like threads. Most folks know these phishing attempts for what they are and merely delete with prejudice.
To the bottom line... if you wish - and I am sure Apple will take notice - you should FORWARD the email to [email protected] and delete.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

Ok we are new to apple. Email is giving us real trouble, coming from outlook.
